FT: Leicester 2-4 Newcastle. Goals from Joe Willock, Paul Dummett and a brace from the impressive Callum Wilson did the damage as the Magpies moved to within a point of confirming their top-flight status. Marc Albrighton and Kelechi Iheanacho grabbed late consolations for Brendan Rodgers’ side, who are now facing a battle to make sure they finish in the top four.
